The traction control system is enabled every time your

vehicle is started. The system will activate if it senses

that any of the wheels are spinning or beginning to

lose traction.

You may hear or feel the system working or notice a

lack of accelerator response, but this is normal.

The Traction Assist System may operate on dry roads

under some conditions. When this happens, you

may notice a reduction in acceleration. This is normal

and doesn’t mean there’s a problem with your vehicle.

Examples of these conditions include a hard

acceleration in a turn, an abrupt upshift or downshift of

the transmission or driving on rough roads.

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TAS begins

to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically

disengage. When road conditions allow you to safely

use it again, you may re-engage the cruise control. See

Cruise Control on page 3-10.

When the traction off light

is on, the TAS is off and

will not limit wheel

spin. Adjust your driving

accordingly.

The traction off light will come on under the following

conditions:

• The Traction Assist System is turned off, either by

pressing the TAS on/off button, located on the

instrument panel, or by turning off the automatic

engagement feature of the TAS.

• The transmission is in FIRST (1); TAS will not

operate in this gear. This is normal.

• The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road.

When the vehicle leaves the rough surface, slows

down or stops, the light will go off and TAS will turn

on again. This is normal.

• A Traction Assist System, Anti-Lock Brake System

or engine-related problem has been detected and

the vehicle needs service.

• If the vehicle has been driven with the TAS system

on for long periods of time, or if the vehicle has

gone through many several high speed braking

maneuvers the system may be automatically

disabled. The system will automatically re-enable

after approximately two minutes of not using

the brakes.

See Traction Off Light on page 3-41.
